00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.960
welcome to my belated Ivy Bridge coverage so in front of me here I have a

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.600
few different processors uh some of the processors that we've tested are

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:23.519
represented by boxes here some of them are not but I want to start with outlining the overall Ivy Bridge lineup

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:30.240
so we have everything from the lowly 3450 so this is a core i5 that's a dual

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.960
core that has uh no k at the end so that

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.559
means this is not an unlocked overclocking processor although you can

00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:40.120
still overclock it a little bit but n very very very limited it also has a 50

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.200
at the end of the part number and what that means is that it has HD 2500

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.600
graphics and that'll be important for one of my other videos where I'm going

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.960
to do an onboard Graphics Roundup where I compare the 2500 the 4,000 the older

00:00:51.719 --> 00:01:01.920
last generation 3000 that was on sandybridge as well as AMD's 3 870k Apu

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.920
that has their onboard radon Graphics so let's hold on let's keep going though uh

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:12.000
so for the rest of lineup so what all this means i7 means you have hyperthreading I5 means no

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.920
hyperthreading the uh 30 whatever seems

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:21.000
to have some sort of indication in terms of the rank within the product stack a

00:01:17.479 --> 00:01:23.079
50 versus a 70 means um 2500 versus

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:28.040
Intel HD graphics 4000 which is significantly more powerful from our

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.360
testing and then the K at the end means

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.079
that you have uh an unlocked processor

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.399
that can be easily overclocked and in this case the 3770k sample that we were

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:44.399
working with was able to easily achieve 4.6 GHz and that's 24/7 stable in fact

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:49.240
that is the setting that we used for our Max overclocking result so you know what

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:55.479
I guess we might as well just go with uh here I'm going to hide The igp

00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:01.640
Showdown actually no I shouldn't yes I'll hide these ones for now there we go

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.560
so let's let's just go through this you guys let's do this as like a one take so

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:10.160
in terms of the tests that I ran my timing was fairly limited so with a

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:16.120
single GTX 680 I ran most of this other stuff so PC Mark 7 cine bench as well as

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:21.560
using either quicksync or no quicksync to quickly convert a video using arsoft

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:25.560
media encoder 7 so I took a 1 gig file and then I outputed it in an iPhone 4

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.120
compatible format and timed how long it took so I'll do that as sort of round

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:35.480
two through all of the tests so PC Mark 7 wise we can clearly see that the max

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:38.440
overclocked 3770k you know what I'll turn these into graphs all right so

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.800
we're just going to do these one at a time here's PC Mark 7 basically this

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:47.440
doesn't benefit as much from multiple cores as you might expect so our 8 core

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:52.000
processor the 8150 from AMD as well as our six core processor the

00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.680
3930k don't actually do that well I mean the 3930k scores a little bit better

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.440
than it's Sandy Bridge Brethren remember this is Sandy Bridge e but the 8150 just

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:02.920
yeah doesn't doesn't do that well in this test you can see that it does

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.239
however benefit from significantly higher core clock speed so once we

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.519
overclocked our 3770k to 4.6 GHz the

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.920
score dramatically improved and we do get a slight Boost from hyperthreading

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.640
here you can see however though with Sandy Bridge we were pretty much within

00:03:15.799 --> 00:03:21.440
margin of error on these two processors so yeah all of this take it with a bit

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.640
of a grain of salt remember this is still a synthetic

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.879
Benchmark here's our cinch test so you can see this was run in two different

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:34.720
settings single-threaded as well as multi-threaded so you can see the single

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.200
threading runs according to uh you know

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:41.560
increasing down the graph so that's the order it's sort of set up in however the

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.400
multi-threading is where some of these processors really differentiate each

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.720
other from each other so the 8150 gets

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.200
pretty much destroyed in the single-threaded test Falling by about to

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:59.200
about half of the score of the 3770 with the max overclock on it um however due

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:04.799
to its eight cores it does sort of make up some and Falls pretty in between the

00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:07.360
2500k and the 3570k which is appropriate

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:12.079
given its price point uh the New Generation IV Bridge processors beat

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:16.479
their last generation Sandy Bridge equivalents by about 10% so this is

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.040
pretty much to be expected and then you can see here that the Sandy Bridge core

00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:25.080
which is the same as on Sandy Bridge e the six core 3930k scores about the same

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:28.440
in the single thread however just sort of Stomps all over everything when it

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:33.639
comes to multi-threading because this is six course 12 12 threads you have to do

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:39.479
some serious overclocking that is about 4.6 GHz on ivybridge in order to get it

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.600
to catch up to Sandy Bridge e um in a

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:45.639
multi-threaded test like the cin bench test for Battlefield 3 guys remember

00:04:43.880 --> 00:04:49.960
this is a custom run through so the results might not have the same kind of

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:54.080
consistency but I believe them to be well real world accurate so Battlefield

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:59.000
3 seems to care about multi-threading you can see here our 3930k performs

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:03.759
extremely well even running with the big dog in this test which is the 3770k at

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:09.720
its maximum overclock and remember a 3930k is good for at least you know a

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:13.600
reasonable overclock to 4. Mid GHz as well so there's more performance to be

00:05:11.479 --> 00:05:17.639
squeezed out of it now unlike some CPU reviews I've gone with realistic

00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:20.360
settings 108p High details so that's why you're not seeing much difference in

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.039
terms of the performance of these processors let's face it they're all

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:29.280
pretty close everything here uses Sandy Bridge everything here uses Ivory bridge

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.639
and this is the lone AMD CPU and the test you can see the FX 8150 doesn't do

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:37.039
that well but everything else is pretty close when it comes to the max FPS with

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.240
the 3770k max OC winning and everything else

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:46.360
here is pretty similar when it comes to the minimum FPS as well did I say Max

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:49.919
cuz I meant average so the red bar is average and the blue bar is the minimum

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.919
so this is all sort of within margin of error and this is the one that's really

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:58.639
lagging behind in this case if you want to see those numbers a

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:03.000
little bit better there you go running with my usual Witcher two

00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:05.800
settings you can see again there's not much separation here in terms of

00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:11.120
performance with the exception of the 393 6 uh

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:14.160
3930k which shows its prowess again with

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.680
its multi coreness as well as the 3770k

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:22.120
being the clear winner again and the 8150 being the uh lesser performing part

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:25.759
out of all of the parts in this particular

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:30.440
test I'm using yeah my usual settings I think I

00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:34.199
already said that now it should be noted that while I am using realistic settings

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:41.400
for the games I'm using maybe a bit of an unrealistic configuration these are

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:46.520
dual 797s overclocked at 1.07 5

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:50.720
gigahertz um 8 gigs of RAM MSI z77a gd65

00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:54.400
board I used an MSI x79 something or

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:58.800
other gd65 for LGA 2011 and then I used

00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:02.039
a Crosshair 5 formula for the AMD test

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.720
bench I'm using an SSD for my boot Drive

00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:10.479
Patriot wildfire and that's pretty much it let's get into the Skyrim results so

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:15.759
skym uh as you can see doesn't really like the 8150 very much and really

00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:21.120
benefits from better IPC and higher clock speeds as you can see here more

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.960
than it benefits from multiple cores so

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:30.840
the clear winner in this guy is the 377k due to its overall faster than the other

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:37.800
stuffiness so guys actually I changed my mind about the uh the quicksync and uh

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.319
media encoder media converter 7 results

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.199
I'm just going to do a general overview of what's special about Ivy bridge and

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:46.919
we're going to wrap this one up as just a performance overview so Ivy bridge in

00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:50.479
general what's special new 22 nanometer manufacturing process reasonable

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:56.400
overclocking although it does get pretty toasty you're going to want something like a Corsair h100 or an h80 to keep it

00:07:54.840 --> 00:08:02.000
pretty cool if you want to go over around 4.5 GHz um performance wise yes

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:08.400
it's better than Sandy bridge I don't have a Sandy Bridge box to represent

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:10.240
here it is better than FX however FX Has

00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:13.120
uh you know some pretty aggressive pricing going on and considering how

00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:19.000
many cores are included there's something to be said for that and oh

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:24.759
yeah right other stuff Lucid virtue MVP is supported on the uh on the similar

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:30.919
time frame released z77 chipset you've also got support for overclocking

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:32.479
hyperthreading turbo boost as well as um

00:08:30.919 --> 00:08:37.360
better onboard Graphics so the better onboard Graphics not only affects um if

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:43.159
you're using onboard Graphics but also affects if you are using uh media

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:48.480
converter 7 and you're using the igp in order to convert your media uh which is

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:51.920
like way I'm not going to spoil it but it's way way faster than any other way

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:56.279
of doing it especially with the new ibridge processors using the

00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.480
hd4000 graphics uh virtue MVP basically is just

00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:03.519
a way to use used the onboard Graphics to improve performance in games although

00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:07.279
in my experience it didn't make that much of a difference and the spotty

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.920
consistency of the results of that particular technology made it not that

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:17.760
appealing to me the z77 platform with an ivy Bridge also supports PCI Express 3.0

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:23.480
which means your latest generation 7900 series 7800 series and 600 series

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:26.880
graphics cards are going to be able to really stretch their legs even if you're

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:33.360
using a mainstream platform that only supports 8X 8X bandwidth that is you

00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:35.079
equivalent to PCIe 2.0 16x 16x so thank

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.880
